Titletown Brewing Company
Titletown Brewing Company is Green Bay’s original craft brewery, founded in December 1996 by a group of beer-loving locals who took on the unlikely task of renovating the city’s abandoned Chicago & Northwestern Railway Passenger Depot. The 1899 train station — a National Register of Historic Places landmark that once hosted Nat King Cole, Buddy Holly, and three U.S. presidents — became the unlikely birthplace of a craft beer institution. The timing was almost too perfect: Titletown opened its doors during the Packers’ Super Bowl XXXI run, the season that returned the “Titletown” nickname to Green Bay for the first time in nearly three decades.
The brewery has since grown into a two-building campus along the Fox River. Today, the heart of the operation is the former Larsen Canning Company complex at 320 North Broadway, a cluster of brick warehouses built between 1908 and 1922 and reopened as the Tap Room in 2014. Inside you’ll find a 1,200-pound restored mechanical gear, original window frames, century-old light fixtures, and a brewhouse tucked into the building’s former boiler room — a deliberate nod to the smokestack that still rises over the property.
“Green Bay’s original craft brewery — where championship history, railroad heritage, and a 1,200-pound restored gear share a room with award-winning beer.”
Upstairs, the Sky Lounge (originally opened in 2015 as the “Roof Tap”) delivers one of the best rooftop views in the city — a sprawling open-air patio overlooking the Fox River and downtown Green Bay, with original 100-year-old industrial fans behind the bar and a vintage fire door framing the fireplace. Titletown’s brewing program has earned serious hardware along the way, including a 2010 Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal for Boathouse Pilsner and a 2015 GABF Silver Medal for Johnny Blood Red. By 2013 the brewpub was ranked among the top 20 in the country by volume, and the company is currently expanding with a second location set to open in West Bend, Wisconsin in summer 2026.
A trip to Titletown is really two breweries in one. Start downstairs in the Tap Room, where pinball machines line the walls, families fill the booths, and at least a dozen house brews rotate through the taps alongside a scratch-made pub menu (the Friday fish fry — Great Lakes whitefish, sweet potato waffle fries, house-made tartar — is the move). Then climb to the Sky Lounge for a craft cocktail, live music on weekends, and that sweeping Fox River view. Brewery tours run regularly and are well worth the time for anyone curious about how a defunct vegetable cannery and a 19th-century train depot became one of Wisconsin’s most beloved craft beer destinations. Whether you’re in town for a Packers game, a road trip through the Midwest brewery circuit, or just a cold pint after work, Titletown is essential Green Bay.
